Real Madrid

Ancelotti’s men are eight points clear at the top of La Liga and a win here will more or less seal the title for them. They have undoubtedly been the most consistent outfit in the competition.
FC Barcelona
The Catalans were knocked out of the Champions League quarterfinals after losing 4-1 against Paris Saint-Germain in the second leg. Despite earning a lead in the tie, Xavi Hernandez’s men fell flat at home especially after Ronald Araujo received a decisive marching order. The visitors are unbeaten in their four La Liga encounters and will aim to win this fixture to cut the deficit to five points. It allows them an outside chance of winning the league title.
